The leader of this list can be … tOdos against Tadej Pogacar. The Slovenian, again, leads the ranking of the greatest favorites to embrace glory in Paris.
The following will be, a priori, and it is clear that the 21 stages are several stages and that any day luck can become elusive, the highest candidates to walk the podium in the French capital.
1
Tadej Pogacar
Slovenia, 26 years (UAE Team Emirates-XRG)
This year’s ‘Pogi’ will play its sixth tour of France, which won three of them (2020, 2021, 2024) and a second end of two others (2022, 2023). After a great time, the UAE leader’s team Emirates was looking for a new success, the fourth, closer to him to four clubs, to only four cyclists who achieved five successes in ‘Grande Boucu’: Jaques Anquettil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinaault and Miguel Indurain.
2
Jonas Vingegaard
Denmark, 28 years (Team Visma-ASE to bike)
Other good candidates for the final success, always with Pogacar permission. His fifth tour of France and Danish aimed at unpacking, after twice second (2021, 2024) and two other first (2022, 2023). Vingegaard and Pogacar were together before the tour of the Daophiné Criterium, where the Slovenian took the victory, but Jonah was happy with his performance. As Pogacar, he will be surrounded by a strong team.
3
Primoz Roglic
Slovenia, 35 years (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe)
For quality, Primoz Roglic may be the perfect desire to be in the podium, but the Slovenian always failed his luck when he needed it, especially in the French tour, where in his six participation he had accumulated three abandonment, the last three, with 2020’s his best results. ‘Rogla’, who has to say goodbye to time, has the advantage that the two Chronos in theory are well, even though the team around him is not up to one with Pogacar and Vingegaard.
4
REMCO evenEPOEL
Belgium, 25 years (Soudal Quick-Step)
In 2024 he met what could be expected from Remco on Tour de France, because of his first participation he completed the 3th, behind two great monsters, Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar. The Aalst tour arrived after playing a Belgium championship and a time marked by the late 2024 accident when he was stamped against the door of a mail van when he trained. Dauphiné played with Vingegaard and Pogacar. He ended up behind them and at the end of the career he admitted that he lacks arguments to stand on two top favorites.
5
Mathieu van der poel
30 years, The Netherlands (Alpecin-Deceuinck)
During the tour of France Mathieu van der Poel changes the paper and is placed in the team’s service, especially under the orders of the fastest men of his squad to launch in the Sprint struggle. But his figure is so good that he deserves to appear on this list, for his own quality, for the show that always gives and for his popularity to fans. You already know what it is to win a tour stage and what the yellow leader of the leader is to dress up, what to say.
6
Simon Yates
32 years, Great Britain (Team Visma-lease to Bike)
After winning a tour of Italy, Simon Yates goes to Tour de France with a single goal: leaves until his final sweat drop to his teammate, Danish Jonas Vingegaard, gets as much as possible. It was 1st in the general last year and this year he argued his eighth tour, with the 4th of 2023 as the best result.
7
Joao Almeida
26 years, Portugal (UAE Team Emirates-XRG)
After presenting a stadium in a wonderful way to the Switzerland tour, before the tour of the tour, which provided well to all the lands, both in Chrono and the mountain, Almeida should be one of the great allies of Tadej Pogacar. He just played a tour, last year, and it was 4, and chased, why not on tour, his second podium in a three -week race after the 3rd Italian spot in 2023. And, he saw his great past performance, in the UAE chest they knew they had another Ace on the deck.
8
Wout Van Aert
30 years, Belgium (Team Visma-liease to bike)
Having a Vanart on your team is life insurance, giving the quality of its wealth to your legs. In addition, in the Wout you have the advantage that this is a corridor that can perfectly combine its personal show – it has some stage successes and ends wearing a green jersey of regularity – including placing a gregarious suit and empty so its leader, in this case Danish Jonas Vingegaard, can discuss the reign of Pogacar in French tour.
9
Enric pa
30 years, Spain (Movistar team)
In paper, Enric Mas is the Spanish cyclist who may even go to the overall tour of the tour, in a year where Mikel Landa (Soudal) will be low after the turn of the turn. So far it can be said that its time is right -3º to La Volta, 2 -2 in Itzulia and 7th in Dauphiné-, but due to its conditions and its rivals are difficult to imagine that it can reach its roof on tour, 5th to 2020. In 20224 it ended with 19th and 2022 and 2023 added two pounds. It should be the edge of your team, the Movistar team, at least the income inco and have a great mountain performance.
10
The outsiders and other runners
In the 184 runner distributed to 23 teams, in addition to the aforementioned cyclists and the surprises that always occur in a long -term distance such as Big Laps, there are still others standing and should be considered, which the Ecuadorian will not be Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz, which has caused casual racial casual. In the Spanish code, names like Carlos Rodríguez or the brilliant champion of Spain Iván Romeo should be considered. In general, it is necessary to be attentive to the evolution of the career of British Adam Yates, the Australian O’Connor, always considered, and the German Lipowitz, Roglic’s loyal squire. And in the sprint key, we need to be attentive to the arrival of Italy Milan and Ganna or the Belgian Philips, Merlier.
